 "Tick"

Random word generator pick

As prompt for a poem to write,

Randomly generated, "tick,"

A common English word that might

Be used as a noun, a short, sharp sound

Regularly made by a clock,

Or as a verb, word's turned around

To be making such sound, "tick" talk.

In biology, a "tick" be

A blood sucking bug that oft is

Discovered making meal of me

After a nature walk, gee whiz!

Many a "tick" my clock's "ticked" by,

As a "tick" took my blood supply.
